Vince Gill Talks Writing With Wife Amy Grant and Working With Daughter Corrina on Music (Exclusive)
Vince Gill says he values making music with his family, describing how his wife, Amy Grant, helped him finish “What Love Can Bring” and their daughter Corrina sang backing vocals. He says singing with family has let him experience the close blend he calls “blood harmony”, a sound he admired in groups such as the Everly Brothers.
Gill and Grant generally keep their creative careers separate, by choice, after each had spent decades working independently before they married. They perform together at annual Christmas shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, but decided they did not want to build a joint act; Gill said they are both used to having their own way. Corrina, 25, and Gill’s eldest daughter, Jenny, have also given him a chance to hear family harmonies.
